What will you do with your yammy yzfr125 when you buy/get a new bike?

Are you planning on selling or keeping it?

Will you use it as a project bike?

Pass it on?

Store it away for its memories!?


I would like to think that I will keep her ( (and im aiming to!). To use it as a project bike which i would use on the weekend e.g. on a nice sunday morning with a 182cc kit conversion done, make it as lightweight weight as possible tearing country roads

What are you planning on doing?

 

[Killachipmunk]

I'd absolutely love to keep it
Unfortunately, I will never have the money or the space, so it's gonna have to go to fund something a little bigger

 

[Scott Murphy]

My plan is to keep it for sure which is why I will keep it till the day comes that I can afford to insure 2 bikes and have my 125 for everyday and commuting and then have a 600/750 to have for longer or faster journey.

If I had the money, I would like to keep it.
Maybe pass it on to a friend to use.

But unfortunately, I will probably need to to fund my next bike.
Although that all depends on what it is worth when that time comes....

I have done more or less 10k miles in just 6 months of ownership...
Putting it on 15k miles now, and the fact that it is an '08...

I know that Dunkirk's 08 with 20k miles would of been worth £1,000 as a trade in to a yammy dealer, which isn't too bad I thought.

I have a couple of options, as I owe nowt on the bike chop it in against replacement or could pass it on to one of my sons. Only problem with the latter I could not just sit back and watch it get ruined.

Any way all this talk of getting rid of your bike or what will you get next is depressing. I remember why I bought my R125, cause it made me smile every time I looked at her. Still does, as does the wife, been together 22 years not even thinking of chopping her in yet.

 

[D-Drz]

LOL bustagutt, very true I must say.

I thought of it because of the previous thread created.

Me personally, I cant sell or pass down my beloved 125 to anyone as I would hate to see it treated like crap etc.
Hence I'm looking to keep it!!! I must admit you are right in saying it makes you smile. Everytime I ride it she makes me smile! But sometimes I hate going out with my bro in law who has a 600 and he leaves me behind!

 

[MrAndy979]

lol bustagutt!! i dont think ur r125 will last 22 years lol!

i need to sell mine i ant got the space or the money...hopefully i will get a bit for it its ony got 2000 miles on it and its a 09 plate

 

[D-Drz]

mine is 09 with 3.5k i want to keep her for ever or as long as possible!

 

[azz2693]

ill reluctantly sell her on when getting a bigger bike, its all about money nowa days and i just dont have it, spend more than i had on this bike so will need to sell to get another one

I'll keep my one and I don't think I'll get a bigger bike

 

[MrWhite]

it depends. if i have got this job at McDonald's then i'm going to be straight on the phone to Benji telling him exactly when i'll have earnt enough money to ride to his place and pick up that 180 kit. then, things become a whole different story...

 

[Scott Murphy]

Mine is 11 (61 Plate) and already over 3000miles!

 

[D-Drz]

lol that's made me feel better scott but to be honest surely if we maintain the engine well it should last ages!

 

[D-Drz]

also is a 150kit or 180kit better? i know you will have to do a lot of changing with the 180 kit but will it put too much pressure on our little 125s ?

 

[D-Drz]

I'll keep my one and I don't think I'll get a bigger bike

yes yes! that's what i want to hear!

malossi 182 and power cam

 

[azz2693]

if i could go back in time i wouldnt have fitted my 180 kit, been a pain in the ass and can be a mission to get it started, i wish i had it standard sometimes for the reliability but then i get on her and ride, completly forget the problems and enjoy the power

 

[D-Drz]

would the 150cc kit give u less issues?

 

[Omar]

if i could go back in time i wouldnt have fitted my 180 kit, been a pain in the ass and can be a mission to get it started, i wish i had it standard sometimes for the reliability but then i get on her and ride, completly forget the problems and enjoy the power

the power i like that

 

[MrWhite]

there shouldn't be any issues at all with either. was your kit brand new, Aaron? who fitted it for you?
